Chapter 1100: Give the Government Some Time!

The Jinyu Tianxia project led to a mass violent incident due to delivery issues.

The County Public Security Bureau arranged for officers to lie in wait, capturing a criminal gang led by Jiang the Bald.

However, the matter was not over.

Jinyu Tianxia is the premier real estate project in Yechuan County, and many citizens invested their entire savings into it; now that both the developer's chairman and General Manager have been arrested, their initial anger has turned into anxiety.

The property owners gathered at the sales office to brainstorm together.

"Everyone, think about it, what should we do?"

"The houses have issues with corner-cutting; we certainly cannot accept the units right now."

"If we don't accept the units, what then? We were hoping to sue the developer; the longer it drags on, the more late fees they have to pay us according to the contract. Now, the company might go bankrupt. Won't we lose our houses too!"

"Sigh, my mother found out about this and fainted from worry at home. She and my father used their life savings to pay the down payment for this house."

"The Government handled this matter too sloppily."

"Right, we should defend our rights and go to the Government!"

"The developer was brought in by the Government; the housing quality is problematic, and the Government failed to supervise properly while agreeing to the delivery. The Government must take responsibility."

Mr. Wang, one of the owners, felt quite depressed.

He had originally wanted to rally everyone to defend their rights against the developer together, forcing the developer to actively rectify the issues while also making them pay breach-of-contract damages.

But he hadn't expected the developer to be so arrogant and reckless, directly bringing in gangsters to beat the owners; he himself had been punched in the head, and his brain was still buzzing.

Just then, a sedan pulled up outside the sales office.

Several people wearing administrative jackets walked in.

The person in the lead was none other than Tang Ye, flanked by two Deputy County Magistrates, Zheng Shaokang and Li Yongan, while the cars behind carried relevant staff from the sub-district office where the residential complex was located.

An hour earlier, Tang Ye had summoned them to the County Government for a meeting; after understanding the situation and soliciting opinions, he learned that a large number of owners were gathered at the sales office, so Tang Ye made a prompt decision and brought people over directly.

The owners gathering was certainly to brew up a rights-defense movement.

Since the signs had been discovered, the sparks had to be extinguished to prevent trouble before it happened.

"Everyone, please be quiet. We are staff from the County Government."

The owners immediately lowered their voices and looked toward the distance in unison.

Director of the County Government Office Wang Haiqing held a megaphone to maintain order.

Once it quieted down, Wang Haiqing introduced, "The County Government is extremely concerned about the problems that have arisen with the Jinyu Tianxia delivery. Several leaders from the County Government have come today, including County Magistrate Tang Ye, Deputy County Magistrates Zheng Shaokang and Li Yongan, as well as staff from the sub-district office. Next, County Magistrate Tang will say a few words to everyone."

Tang Ye took the microphone from Wang Haiqing's hand.

"Dear owners. My name is Tang Ye, and I am the Acting County Magistrate of Yechuan County. I am very angry to learn that a vicious violent incident occurred during the Jinyu Tianxia delivery.

I never imagined that there could be such an arrogant and reckless businessman in this world.

The County Public Security Bureau has taken immediate action to arrest him, and his illegal activities will be punished later.

I have heard that many owners were injured, and I express my deep regret and distress.

Please rest assured, our attitude toward criminal gangs is zero tolerance!"

A voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.

"We don't need sympathy, and we don't need empty words and clichés. We want to get our houses."

"The developer was chosen by the Government; why didn't you do a good job of supervision? Now that there's a problem, the Government bears the primary responsibility!"

"I heard the developer has a big leader backing him; would he dare to be this arrogant without a backer?"

Tang Ye deliberately waited for everyone to vent their emotions, paused for a few dozen seconds, and said in a deep voice, "I have felt everyone's anger. Below, I will talk about how to meet your needs.

First, Shunteng Development Company has engaged in illegal activities and no longer has the ability to solve the problems. Next, the Government will arrange for a company to take over.

Second, we will re-evaluate whether Jinyu Tianxia meets the qualifications for unit delivery and will urge rectification until it passes the relevant regulations before delivery is permitted.

Third, please be patient; for the delayed delivery, the company taking over will provide economic compensation.

Please elect a few representatives to coordinate with the Government later.

You can contact Deputy County Magistrate Li beside me directly.

This matter is handed over to him to handle.

If it is not handled well, I will hold him accountable."

Hearing that the houses were to be rectified and that there was a promise of breach-of-contract damages.

Everyone's emotions stabilized instantly.

"He won't just be fobbing us off, will he?"

"Very likely. You can't trust the words of these officials!"

Tang Ye looked toward the distance, "Also present at the scene today are reporters from the City Television Station. They are from the News Girl program team, and today's events will be broadcast tomorrow night.

The television station will record my promises and make them public.

If I fail to deliver, my reputation will be ruined.

At that time, you can all file complaints against me!"

Seeing Tang Ye signaling to her, Tian Xiaomeng stepped over to Tang Ye's side.

"Hello everyone, I am News Girl Tian Xiaomeng.

I actually felt it was very strange when I received an invitation from the Yechuan County Government to come here today.

Because when encountering this kind of situation, the Government usually avoids it for fear that the media will cause trouble.

However, I am an old friend of County Magistrate Tang.

A few days ago, I received a tip-off that someone had discovered quality issues at Jinyu Tianxia and told County Magistrate Tang about it.

County Magistrate Tang attached great importance to it, which is why he made meticulous arrangements on the day of delivery to directly take the unscrupulous developer into custody.

Please rest assured, keep an eye on tomorrow's News Girl, and we will report the entire process of the matter truthfully."

Mr. Wang had indeed called the News Girl tip-off hotline some time ago.

However, he had been waiting, but the News Girl never contacted him.

In fact, he had long felt in his heart that the media, the Government, and enterprises were all birds of a feather.

Unexpectedly, the media had not lost its voice, but had instead made contact with the Government.

"It is getting late. Why don't we all disperse for now? Please give us one week; if we do not meet your requirements, I am willing to accept your supervision." Tang Ye made his final summary and promise.

"Let's disperse! Since the Government is willing to handle this, everyone can rest easy."

"I see this County Magistrate is very young; will he be able to do it?"

"Don't look down on him because he is young; he is a Department-level Official. The younger a Government cadre is, the more unfathomable they are."

"Mr. Wang, whether we leave or not is up to you."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Mr. Wang said, "Continuing to drag this out will not help matters. Let's give the Government some time!"

Mr. Wang walked out of the sales office.

His mobile phone rang.

Mr. Wang answered the unfamiliar number.

"Hello, my name is Ma Ran, and I am County Magistrate Tang's Liaison Officer.

County Magistrate Tang would like to have a private chat with you, would that be alright?"
